Comparing Web Development Platforms
I would like to point you to a study a professor of my university (i.e. my workplace) did with his team. One goal, nine teams, thirty hours, three platforms - J2EE, Perl and PHP. Why they did not evaluate Ruby or Python is far out of my knowledge (and why anyone would do actually web devopment in Perl), but the setting is interesting enough. A rather lengthy report can be found here.
Update: I did not read the document thoroughly enough. The answers to my questions:
“We had some contact with potential teams from the Python arena, but there were not sufficiently many who were qualified enough. In the end, only one formal request for participation was submitted, so we did not admit Python into the contest.”
“It was impossible to find Ruby-on-Rails teams (“we are too busyâ€?). “
